Sorry to have gone MIA for a while. The truth is that with me going back to work part-time, Jeff and I are both exhausted. I am working 3 days a week and on those days the boys stay home with Jeff. We have help from my mom and two "nannies" who go to the college nearby. As most of you know, Jeff is not a morning person but on the days I have to leave the house by 7:00 he has to be up and ready for baby duty.
When I get home from teaching my rowdy class of 24 first graders, I am right back on baby duty while he goes upstairs to his office to get some more work done before dinner/ bath time. We bathe the boys, put them to bed and eat dinner. At that point Jeff usually goes back to work upstairs while I try to muster up enough energy to wash bottles, clean up the kitchen, do laundry, pay bills, etc, etc. I try to get to bed by 9:30/10:00 and then the whole cycle repeats itself the next day. The boys are still not sleeping through the night so we are still suffering from sleep deprivation.
So, for the good news!
As of last week Nicolas weighs 15 lbs, 10 ozs and Blakey weighs 12 lbs, 15 ozs. So, Nico has more than tripled his weight since birth and Blake has more than quadrupled his weight! They are almost the exact same height, Nico 26 inches and Blake 25 3/4 inches!
Blake is still wearing his helmet, but has made a lot of progress. We had plans for him to be a football player for Halloween, but it is pretty likely that the helmet will be off by then.
Any cute twin-themed Halloween costume ideas?
We are also lacking in the picture department, but here are just a couple:
Rubba-dub-dub, Blakey's in the tub!

Hugs and Kisses,
